Vaccination centres across Qatar have administered four million vaccines doses in total, official Ministry of Public Health figures showed on Wednesday.
A total of 4,012,536 vaccine doses have been administered since the start of the programme, the MoPH said in a Twitter post. As many as 21,570 doses administered to community members in the last 24 hours.
Health authorities have been expanding the country’s vaccination campaign in recent months to ensure the community’s safety— administrating thousands of doses daily.
Figures on Wednesday showed that 88.8% of the eligible population (aged 12 and over) has received at least one dose of vaccine.
The hopeful numbers means the Gulf state is now among the leading countries to vaccinate the largest percentage of the total population.
